Using the Switch Console

Starting and Ending a Console Session

If there is any system-down information to report, the switch displays it in this step and in the console Event Log.

For a description of Main Menu features, refer to “Main Menu Features” on page 4-4.

How To End a Console Session:

The process of ending the console session depends on whether, during the console session, you have made any changes to the switch configuration that requires a reboot of the switch to activate. Configuration changes requiring a reboot of the switch are indicated by an asterisk (*) next to the configured item in the Configuration menu and also next to the Switch Configuration item in the Main menu.

1.If you have not made configuration changes in the current session that require a switch reboot to activate, return to the Main Menu, and press [0] to log out. Then exit from the terminal program, turn off the terminal, or quit from the Telnet session.

2.If you have made configuration changes that require a switch reboot:

a.Return to the Main Menu.

b.Press [6] to select Reboot Switch and follow the instructions on the reboot screen.

Rebooting the switch terminates the console session, and, if you are using

Telnet, disconnects the Telnet session.

(See “Rebooting To Activate Configuration Changes” on page 4-13.)

3.Exit from the terminal program, turn off the terminal, or close the Telnet application program.

N o t e

The Switch 212M and 224M serial interface does not support all modem lines,

 

including automatic disconnect. As a result, if you are concerned about

 

security for console access, in addition to using passwords, you should always

 

make sure you select the Logout option from the Main Menu to terminate the

 

console session. This option also disconnects the serial connection so that the

 

next person to use the console is required to go through the password-

 

protected logon process.

 

There is also an “inactivity timeout” parameter that can be set on the Console/

 

Serial Link configuration screen under the Switch Management Access Con-

 

figuration menu. See page 6-20 for more information on setting this parameter.
